the latest news on the week's top stories this is the week here on our she with me hugh of all of the hello and welcome to the program. chaos is spreading in egypt with more deadly clashes and portside in cairo at least thirty two people including two police officers and two third ballers have been killed after crowds tried to storm a prison in this seaside city they arrived followed death sentences given to twenty one people for their role in last year's football stadium riot which led dozens dead while and the capitol police fired tear gas at anti-government protesters try to storm government buildings correspondent is in cairo with the latest. the violence continues here in cairo between protesters and security forces on the cornice by the nih and this happened after protesters decided to move the

demonstration from tahrir square to the parliament building then security forces responded with quite a lot of tear gas the air here in downtown cairo is really stinging even at this time to it's very hard to breathe when you're outside meanwhile the situation is definitely escalating in port saeed and over three hundred injured the army are still on the streets apparently they've managed to secure the area around the prison where the twenty one defendants who are possibly facing the death penalty are being housed but we are getting calls from hospitals for more blood they need blood for the injured and also medical supplies where the president was supposed to be traveling he canceled his travel plans as the situation developed in port sayit he met with his national defense council to discuss the growing crisis across the country they've said is they may resort to a state of emergency in some of the areas that are the most violence they've also asked for a dialogue with the opposition you for the opposition's part the national salvation

front they've released a statement with five the man's calling basically for a new national salvation government to take over they've also said they would consider boycotting the parliamentary elections which are due in april and for also asked for an early presidential elections what they're saying is basically they don't believe that president mohamed morsi is the just a minute and he's not on any of the demands of the revolution and should therefore step aside mark glenn a journalist for the american free press newspaper says the riots could be being instigated from the outside. we have people on the ground there who are genuinely emotionally driven for these things but you know these kinds of revolutions they don't pop up just overnight they take years of claiming. a year or so of all sorts of preparations in order for these things to take place and yes there's a lot of frustration on the streets in egypt we have just gone through turbulent

period were on employment is really high it's really difficult for our families to feed themselves and certainly first lens to the press ration on the street so but in general i cannot help but to think back to be hundreds of minutes reports that were coming out of egypt talking about how do you hear the troublemakers on the ground there who are being directed and guided by western intelligence services just having it happen so good it can put pressure on morsi and not his government in order to agree to certain demands that the united states in its rulemaking look the u.s. doesn't necessarily have to come forward and say oh yes we were in support of these people have a good name again here i believe is just a mouth it is just an issue of putting pressure on morsi perhaps he and his government are beginning to fear in a certain direction that is not pleasing to the united states and israel french troops in mali have moved into the cape town of as they continue an offensive to

drive out al qaeda linked militants from the country's north the joint forces also carried out as trikes and to control of the airport and a bridge over the niger river anderson he's maria free notional reports the french intervention could be aimed at securing vast amounts of natural resources in the west african nation. french have died headlong into the military operation in mali but the discussion is still ongoing as to exactly why the western nation has put food on african soil again costing money and people's lives. official rhetoric remains in line with the mantra of the war on terrorism but some statements suggest another layer of france's defense minister has declared a total recount quest of mali is the main goal with the president echoing french troops twenty five hundred so far who remain in the region for as long as necessary they're attempting to militarize huge sections of africa so that they want to monopolize access to the city to the resources that are there we're seeing this to

become specifically in relations the united states i know we're seeing it with problems in other parts of the european union through european union troops actually being used i mean some of the money conflict as well which has been relatively rare in the past the gold and especially the iranian deposits make the country very attractive nearly eighty percent of all france's energy generated by almost sixty nuclear power plants is dependent on african reigning and. french companies must go on the offensive and fight the growing influence the rival china for stake in africa's increasingly competitive markets all this is neocolonialism but with simpler france is far from the only nation to have and defended its interests in africa the french have intervened around fifty times in africa in the last fifty years since official decolonization protecting regimes from rebels like into booty call to central african republic or fighting regimes like in libya

france is always driven by its own economic or geopolitical interests this time is no different. radical they call lies asian wasn't actually over apart from economic there is also a strategic importance this part of africa opens routes to the red sea and the middle east britain and france have for centuries fought over it before it's like a remake but with many others involved but that doesn't mean the round mutual interests here. if you ask people in mali you'd be surprised they were waiting for somebody to say you. because their army is not equipped to are trained to oppose these militants but it was necessary to intervene in mali people see this operation as a liberation they hardly wanted to live on the islamicists miss the had that is the philosopher in the former tunisian ambassador to damascus his view on the positive impact for the people of mali is that it is actually a colonial throwback. it's ok if you want to come you resources put then it's

logical the locals profit as well those riches go to improve their life as a free but that's not the case this way is wild the kind of slavery in mali among the richest national resources in africa remains one of the poorest nations the world for many years there's been in paris was the headquarters of the country's ministry of colonies the body which administered french territories overseas today that ministry no longer exists and former french colonies are independent someone that alone no idea is all just part of history and that history may be repeating. very financially r.t. from paris. this week the world's financial and political elites wrapped up their annual trolley in this way as a result of davos optimistically predicting a year of a walkout of crisis this year but as always his case to peel the reports the rich and powerful have gathered at the world economic forum offered lots of promises but no clear strategies. doubles twenty thirteen is now i and as the world's most

influential policymakers pack up their design a suit and head home at least me here at meiring the beauty of the swiss alps as you can see but also trying to look beyond the to work out what exactly was achieved well first we had russian prime minister dmitry medvedev he spoke about the need to diversify the economy away from oil and crack on with structural reforms but you know we've heard that before that was something. we also. british leader david cameron he came here he had some tough words to say for tax avoiders but really the only topic people wanted to press him on here was the fact that he will be calling an e.u. referendum for the british public in twenty eight seventy the business community here they felt that that was a gram of cheer and now it's a man and that it would do the economy no good already challenged and in a fragile situation with dismal growth figures just released europe was of course

in the spotlight as predicted we had european central bank president mario draghi he said the spending cuts are necessary austerity is the way forward and german chancellor angela merkel she agreed with him she reiterated that point and this really comes the same way that we've had process ongoing in greece we've had a backlash in germany as well as spain's unemployment for the youth coming out at sixty percent we also have the prayers from the arab world they came together valiant to improve the future for the people in the region but no clear strategy on on how to do that so you know i can tell you there's been a lot of talking a lot of pledging a lot of promise saying but no clear cut poll that says by have a real fairing that the interesting conversations happened behind closed doors. r.t. . so david cameron's pledge to hold and in out referendum in the u.k.

it certainly should be done it's missing out the u.k. prime minister said the british will have their say on hero if his conservative party wins the next election but as he is andrew former reports the certainty of a britain's e.u. membership is being criticized at home and abroad. british prime minister david cameron has threatened to redraw the map of europe his pledge to hold a referendum on whether the u.k. should remain in the e.u. if they can win the next election in twenty fifteen basically he wants more powers returned from brussels to westminster and will try to renegotiate britain's terms of membership but he has warned that he is not successful then the u.k. would probably vote to head towards the exit i was his long awaited european speech and died at the place many of those euro skeptics within his tory party there are many doubts is u.k. business leaders for example say that even talking about an exit at this stage will

create uncertainty and could scare away tension investors germany's chancellor angela merkel has said that perhaps a compromise is needed but other e.u. members are less sympathetic than mark says the e.u. is not a self-service book where members can cherry pick the legislation that happens speaking to said the e.u. would simply become a mess so while david cameron appears to solve any internal squabbles within his own party opposing the euro skeptics it also appears that he's driving a wedge between britain and other e.u. member states andrew farmer. london. prime minister for the third time then you may need ten yahoo's right wing blog wins the general election but he faces a battle to form a coalition before he pushes through his plans for more jewish settlements in the disputed west bank more on that coming out. and deprived of privacy the f.b.i.

refuses to reveal how or how many americans it's preying on causing distrust and paranoia. after a short break. more

news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations to rule the day. welcome back you're watching the line from. prime minister binyamin netanyahu may have come out and we know that israel's genuine action this week but has suffered a major setback the two main blogs have left close to deadlock in the new parliament to meaning netanyahu will have to struggle to build a stable government he's actually star harris campaigning for a two state solution to the israeli palestinian conflict as netanyahu his reelection a little to may he's not even that. a ten year old finds themselves

leading a party of offering a very platform actually no platform at all they have not presented a program a party program to address a lot of the issues that are concerning israeli citizens from the left and the right and are dividing them and when you think about the prospects for this government leading policy of more settlement expansion and indeed even annexation of the occupied territories in the west bank i think that it would lead not only to a growing pressure in friction with the united states and president obama with the european union and with the palestinian population but it will also lead to a growing disappointment in the israeli public that. he is still supporting and i believe will still support. it and uphold its right to peace and security which can only be manifested and realized through the two state solution.

jewish settlements in the west bank are a major issue for israeli and international politics so to cut through the politics actor and director of the road camera known for his prank the jews decided to take and orthodox look at the whole land expansion in. my name is me more than israeli citizen living here among arabs in white shop and don't you one housing crisis at all time high the thing is there is another new one in jerusalem but i can also live among artists and i think i can get there much better do the wise over the. would like to see the flood to buy i'm here with some investors from england. we want to invest in this area because i'm hearing the property value might go up with one flat is one million shekels is fathers for that and they're building that this whole new area called zero eight and one begins after those heels despite

a few haters in the us almost all these really critical parties support the building and selling of charming flats on palestinian land the latest hot location you see one east of jerusalem hello i'm here to show a new client wants to buy property in this area is a big you want investor understand it's the only building now currently built but if i can show him more. hills more outposts. and no one except occupation two state solution who cares as long as the property is cheap is a jew man living i want to cash in on my jewishness and like be in touch with my roots. so it's all jewish yeah yeah any non jewish part because. not from here many people say he is not being constructive in the peace process but look how many settlements it constructed i'm hoping. to build

a new settlement. this is the future of israel i believe and i'm afraid that if i buy the house and i get a document saying it's mine some day palestinians can scam and say no it's not yours because i keep listening to that in the u.k. . you see. there's history. there's just one thing and. it's funny how those small actions had like international meaning. the moving of stones like monumentally. it's like messing with international law. this scene is the most disputed area you never notice it just because people told us but he says it is like a good place to build a new flat you think they'll build in this area like because my friends want to build some like to buy something before we even constructed it. is coming up.

it says this is the fell stone being set for the new god willing of the one facing the holy capital of his well i pay so much money for rent in london in one in london and here in one in the big city thing is cheaper and more comfortable it all starts here so you have all of us in our blood view you can look down and palestinians this is the new area being built up as if you want i just call this real estate it's called hideout three they said all the flats in this part of town and they say no it's a city thought a settlement it will never be evacuated today selling more and more how come all the cleaners of the city and all the builders are all you should be jewish label. should be mean to him and he's going to see it going to be a state agent to get to the for the legalities. of the mission.

i am. all for the little that's going to focus on the field and it is a complete. by any chance that. i highly unlikely because. i am. i am. i am i am. so the film's director says disputed west bank areas can be a good and potentially very profitable. nobody really go. get the

mindset of the religious ones and the not only just want to just come there for the bill and i mean they don't even think about politics for them it's just buying and selling and like they told me that if someone is going to a victim which they don't believe but if people are going to happen they're going to even make more money because the government will pay them compensation for the victims if you buy a float over the good food discount if you've got many kids even more discards you don't even have to be religious these are early states like actually de facto build another welfare which is the settler jewish only west bank cities and if you just go there and you buy a flat you can sell it to like a jewish americans some of the people i talked to never going to. give up their house bill from like the ninety's though heavily. into the settlement of the entire west bank and told me that like jordan is also the kind of part of the jewish state

just call and like the other ones are just like non-religious people who used to live in these early election is all about social justice kind of the whole. the whole like housing prices so pretty much if you want to live chip in this world that's the only option americans are literally being kept in the dark about how and why they're being followed by the nation security agency civil liberties group and b. who asked asked the f.b.i. to spell out what techniques it's using want to track citizens the justice department did reply by sending hundreds of completely blacked out documents and journalism professor christopher chambers says the u.s. is violating the rights of its people. the state of privacy for american citizens these days is quite tenuous and quite frightening because we are being assaulted in america on two levels one from our government which is collecting information which is spying on american citizens. apparently without any predicate or basic probable

cause or specific facts on the other hand you have corporations spying on american citizens to find out what we buy when we buy it how much money we spend how much well who is in our family what our friends buy basically to take money from us so on one hand you have people taking freedom of the other here you have people taking money so it's all based on a lack of privacy so it's a very scary situation here in america now. where on top right now and internet activists came dot com known for his now banned file sharing service says he is at the center of a political witch hunt shutting down of his mega upload sign one of the most popular on the web at the time became a landmark case in the prosecution of internet activity and he told r.t. he believes he's being hunted and. i'm a businessman i'm driven by the success of achieving something in the business world ok that's not

a crime there's nothing wrong with that the government is quite exposed here because the universe completely prosecutorial abuse and overreach and ignoring due process ignoring our arrives spying on us illegal search warrants illegal restraining orders illegal spying and i mean the whole war picture when you look at it shows that this was an urgent mission done in a rush to take them down i want them to go and it was a political decision to do that. and you can watch the interview with kim dotcom in fall on r.t. dot com but the mega upload creature is not the only victim of the campaign against internet pirates and secrecy crusader our own schwartz took his own life to escape being hounded. anonymous he'd been fine watching the website of the u.s. sentencing commission blaming the american justice system for being too harsh on

driving the twenty six year old to surfside rolled out of his web site. and also online of russia are greys and indians see dry and diesel electric submarine with cruise missiles and hands the new lee armed boat back to the indian navy. and let's check some other news stories making headlines around the globe today the first of six patrol anti-missile batteries deployed by nato in turkey or preparation or the dutch system is now on standby in the city of dunn are with five more units that to be in place by the end of the month nato and says the move will help defend turkey from possible rockets fired from inside its conflict torn neighbor syria but many believe it's our choice is to create a no fly zone to help the syrian rebels hold their ground against government troops . in washington thousands of runners in support of stricter gun

controls in march was motivated by a connecticut elementary school massacre that left twenty children and six adults dead president obama has unveiled the most sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in two decades including a ban on military style assault weapons and ground checks the proposals have divided the nation with about half of americans insisting it's their right to bear arms without restrictions. but as well as president has overcome his risperdal infection according to the country's information minister is. good travis will continue to be treated for breathing complications following his fourth cancer surgery in cuba last month the country's vice president recently said travis isn't his best moment to return within weeks they should have taken a new oath of office on tenth of january but has not been seen in public since mid december. and coming out after

a short break it's also his documentary thirteen percent exploratory journey about the dark cloud of aids hanging over african-americans. right wing t.v. host glenn beck is going to build his own utopia beck plans to put together a massive social experiment building his own city which will be totally independent from the evil grasp of government and the outside world where residents will have to learn how to survive on their own make their old things and grow their own food the future city called independence usa will be based on libertarian principles with hints of iran flavor there will be no handouts and no help for the

self-sufficiency minded residents but beck may need some help himself because building the city could cost about two billion dollars the thing is that commentators about politics like glenn beck and you horse truly have a very easy job it is easy to point out what is wrong with society but it is another thing entirely to try to change it and i want to salute clint beck for actually doing something and putting his money where his ideological mouth is now why would i want to live in the i know rand paradise of independence usa under the rule of lord back no no i wouldn't taking marching orders from a tiny portly man known for crying on camera doesn't suit me but if you're a hardcore libertarian here is your chance to make all of your dreams come true but that's just my opinion.

at the start of this strange new disease affecting healthy young americans looks like this a period between the first outbreak of aids summer nine hundred eighty one and i nine hundred eighty five not only were people coming down with it's dying and so forth but nobody knew who had it or who didn't now more than thirty years since its arrival the face of aids looks like this but the social stigma of this disease lingers persons get educated but in the back of their mind a times even.
